In a community alert issued Monday, police said they have identified a burglary pattern in which one or more intruders enter victims’ residences through unlocked doors or by forcing doors or windows open. Once inside, valuables are taken from the home.

Detectives typically issue a community alert when they believe a series of crimes are the work of a single person or group.

Break-ins linked to the pattern have been reported in:

• the 900 block of West Cornelia between Nov. 28 and Dec. 2• the 3200 block of North Kenmore on Dec. 1 or Dec. 2• the 800 block of West Cornelia on the evening of Dec. 6• the 900 block of West Cornelia between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Dec. 7• the 3400 block of North Lakewood between 8 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 11• the 3300 block of North Kenmore on Dec. 15 or Dec. 16
